A process, occurring as part of photosynthesis, whereby light provides the energy for a series of electron carriers to operate together to transfer electrons and generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient. A process whereby a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors such as NADH and FADH2 to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient. The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of precursor metabolites, substances from which energy is derived, and any process involved in the liberation of energy from these substances. A process whereby a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient. The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. The process of removal or addition of one or more electrons with or without the concomitant removal or addition of a proton or protons.
